The winning message for a Democrat:
I will be your revenge. I will burn the Republican’s criminal empire to the ground. It won’t undo their crimes, but I will make them suffer.

Were you expecting a black man, surrounded by a historical establishment he had to fight his way into, to just get up ended cause he wanted to? He was badgered from all fronts, included by fools who talk like you.
I hoped for change, wanted him to be better, but was proven wrong. Obama was yet another milquetoast democrat.
One of the Obama quotes that sums him up pretty well is, “Tell me what we’re doing and I’ll sell it”.
BUT, because of this countries history and a lot of undealt with racism, it was important for us all to have a black president and it was important that he do well. And Obama did above average, even if I wanted a lot more out of him, after he strung us along with “hope and Change”. Obamacare alone sealed his legacy. His term was an important step toward universal civil rights. I dont know about you, but I like civil rights and human rights for all. Its one of the #1 things I care about. The universality of rights is important no matter who you are–even to your white male right winger-- equal protection is something they need and should value.
Never enough with y’all considering context. Y’all just want another cis white het with perfect views. He did a lot with what he was given.
Not sure who you’re referring to here, I wanted the first black president to represent a meaningful departure from the status quo. Of course, that was how Obama attained such success so rapidly, by staunchly defending it. Which leads us back to the original post in this thread - he wasn’t willing to “look backward” and prosecute the egregious crimes of his predecessors. Just “looked forward” to bailing out Wall Street, and personally ensuring they got extra money for executive bonuses.
Still, I’m curious to know more about your perspective. What are some of the things you view as Obama’s greatest accomplishments? Do you wish he had done anything differently or better?
